There’s no right way to do the wrong thing. If it doesn’t feel right, I have to look at my motives.
Sometimes doing the right thing is the hardest.
Of course I can justify anything in my mind and convince myself with a good argument. But if I’m honest with myself, I can see right through it.
My conscience never takes a day off. So, I need to ask “Is this what God would want?”.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
The world isn’t going to change for me. I need to change.
I must look at what disturbs me and why. Then I need to ask God for His Help for me to change my attitude and perspective.
God will show me opportunities to change. I must be willing.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I have been living sober for quite a while. Over time, I got the hang of it. That doesn’t mean I’m on cruise-control.
Every once in a while I learn about someone who relapses after a period of sobriety. The thought of it horrifies me. The reason is always the same – they forget and then stop doing what they had been doing.
There are certain habits which I was taught early on that I keep up to this day. I never want to forget how horrible I used to feel.
What I have to do every day is not hard. The fact that it works for me gives me faith that it will continue to work for me.
I get to live sober only one day at a time. Today is that day.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When I find myself reluctant to pray, it’s a warning sign to me. It is a sign of complacency.
Sometimes I feel rushed. Sometimes I feel like I don’t need to pray.
Usually it’s a sign that I’m veering off of the right path.
Hitting my knees and asking for God’s Help shows humility. After all, I haven’t gotten this far on my own.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I will be ok – if I allow it.
Everything always turns out the way it’s supposed to turn out.
The toughest part of life for me is when I resist the way things are at this moment and internalize it. The internal torque I experience causes me to try to impose my will upon the world.
The world doesn’t revolve around me. Too bad for me. I’ll get over it when I stop and see that I am the one with the problem.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
There was a time when I didn’t think I would survive very long. I could not foresee what my life would be like if I did make it.
By taking care of each day, one day at a time, I have survived.
My life did not unfold as I ever imagined it would. I am Blessed beyond what I ever deserved.
Today is a gift. I look forward to opening it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I can’t please everyone. I just need to be consistent in what I do and how I treat people.
I need to accept others for how they are, whether it pleases me or not.
I must trust God to guide me in how I treat others today and to help me accept them as they are.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
When I was lost, I wasn’t very good at asking for directions. I pretended to know what I was doing until I found that I felt totally alone.
I had abandoned all good sense and had ventured into a dark place that I couldn’t return from on my own.
I did not realize that God was with me all along. He put people into my path to show me the way and give me direction.
I must always remember that I am not alone. God is always with me, using others to lead me to the right way to live.
I am grateful for the angels God has sent to help me.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Regardless of my present circumstances, how I am feeling, or what I am thinking, I need to put my recovery ahead of everything.
Anything that I put above my recovery I will lose – including my sobriety … including my soul.
Each day I must remember that I am an alcoholic. My alcoholism never goes away, as much as it tells me that it’s ok to drink.
Every day I ask God for help. Every day I remind myself that I only get a daily reprieve when I put my trust in God’s Care.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I hope that I am not judged for my shortcomings. Each of us falls short sometimes.
I hope that I can be understanding enough so that I don’t judge others.
I hope that if I am judged, it is for never giving up on myself.
God never gives up on me.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
